I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 953: Chapter 622: Blade Soul Domain (2)

Within the domain, everything is frozen, spiritual qi solidifies, and space becomes stagnant. Even Tier Seven powerhouses will be suppressed by the cold, and their combat power reduces significantly.

Now, with Black Frost, even if Qin Tian doesn’t take action himself, merely relying on the soul of the black katana to control the sword body, an ordinary Tier Six Spiritualist wouldn’t be able to withstand even a single move from it.

Even against Tier Seven powerhouses, as long as the opponent isn’t of the Holy Blood direct lineage, or exceptional geniuses like Yang Ling or Catherine, Black Frost can handle and defeat them with ease.

If he were to wield the current Black Frost against the three Tier Eight Human Puppet Golems again, the situation would certainly not be as passive and embarrassing as before; he is fully confident he could completely annihilate the three Human Puppet Golems.

"Tsk tsk, who would’ve thought I’ve become so audacious, not even putting Tier Eight powerhouses in my eyes."

The corners of Qin Tian’s mouth lifted slightly.

Of course, while confidence is one thing, blind arrogance is something else entirely.

After all, at this moment, he is still just a Tier Seven Three Stars Spiritualist. Even with multiple Holy Blood talents, mastering dozens of top-tier purple and orange talents, and having treasures like Shadowstrike and Black Frost that rival Divine Artifacts, he is far from being invincible in the world.

Against the top direct lineage of the Holy Blood among Tier Eight, or super geniuses like Yang Ling and Catherine, whose foundation is deep and combat power is overwhelming, he still has no great confidence if a head-on confrontation occurs under complete level suppression.

In terms of talent, he already stands at the peak of the Cosmos and does not need to deliberately pursue talent enhancement.

The most urgent thing for him right now is to focus on cultivation and fully elevate his spiritual ability level.

Only by keeping up with the levels can he truly unleash the full power of all talents and treasures and truly establish a foothold in this vast Star Realm.

Retracting Black Frost and Shadowstrike, Qin Tian raised his hand, and a spatial fluctuation arose, absorbing the bodies of all split ice gluttons slain by Black Frost in this glacier into the Spirit Space, including the Tier Seven Peak split ice glutton beneath his feet.

After the evolution of Black Frost and Shadowstrike, he needed some time to blend and familiarize himself. Just one Tier Seven split ice glutton was far from enough.

Fortunately, over 99% of the Mingwang Planet remains undeveloped and unexplored, with large groups of ice beasts and ice beast leaders hidden in these deserted zones.

Enough for him to fully exert himself.

"Time to go back and get to work."

Qin Tian marked the location of this spiritual vein on the map, then disappeared from the spot with a flash of spatial fluctuation.

......

The Judgement Court’s Black Sun Prison is located a thousand feet beneath the headquarters of the Judgement Court. Unlike the dark and damp of ordinary prisons, this place is more of a science fiction cage wrapped in steel and technology.

The entire prison is cast with a dark silver unknown alloy, with heavy alloy plates dividing the space into neat cells.

Each cell is moderately sized, without unnecessary clutter, pristine to the point of harshness.

Inside each cell, the glowing metal ceiling is evenly distributed with cold white light sources, the light is direct and glaring, without any softness, instead resembling numerous scrutinizing gazes, shrouding everything inside the cell in a suffocating oppression.

Each cell has only the simplest furnishings: a cold metal bed without any bedding; a small washing area is designated in the corner, with no ventilation, and the air carries a metallic chill.

At this moment, on the metal bed in one of the cells lies the masked man who was turned into a cripple by Yang Ling.

The bizarre mask on his face had long been removed, revealing a sallow, emaciated face, with high cheekbones and deep-set eyes, the former ferocity and defiance had entirely vanished, leaving only deep-seated pain and numbness.

All his limbs had been severed, and the wounds had been treated with a special Judgement Court solution, preventing further bleeding.

His forehead and body were plastered with countless metal patches, which connected to thin wires extending to an instrument interface in the corner of the cell, flickering with faint blue light.

Beside the metal bed stood a middle-aged man dressed in the black robe of the Judgement Court.

He placed his palm steadily on the masked man’s forehead, eyes closed, brow slightly furrowed, surrounded by a faint spiritual energy fluctuation, evidently using some special ability to probe the masked man’s memory.

And beside this middle-aged man, two deputy directors of the Judgement Court stood side by side, surrounded by over a dozen black-robed Judges, each with a stern aura, standing silently, with Yang Ling also present among them.

Time ticked by second by second, the instruments in the cell continued to flicker with a faint blue light, and the middle-aged man’s brow furrowed more tightly.

After an unknown amount of time, he withdrew his hand from the masked man’s forehead, opened his eyes, a trace of exhaustion and gravity flashing in his eyes.

Seeing this, Deputy Director Pei Siqing stepped forward a step and asked in a deep voice, "Yan Qing, how is it?"

Yan Qing furrowed his brow slightly and said:

"Director Pei, his memory had been probed."

Hearing this, the surrounding people’s expressions changed slightly, all looking toward Yang Ling.

Yang Ling said calmly:

"I’ve already reported this to Director Pei. After the battle ended, Qin Tian had probed his memory. I’m sure everyone is familiar with who Qin Tian is."

Qin Tian—it’s him.

Their expressions loosened considerably; the name Qin Tian is well-known in the Judgement Court.

In the incident when the Xieshen Association attacked the Dan Tower, if not for Qin Tian’s actions, single-handedly venturing into the Subspace to bring back Elder Yunhe Li and others, mitigating the losses and restoring influence to the lowest level, the Judgement Court would have been severely weakened.

Saying Qin Tian is the "savior" of the Judgement Court is not an exaggeration.

If it was him who probed the memories, although in terms of Judgement Court procedures it might be slightly inappropriate, it could still be reluctantly accepted.

At this point, Yan Qing said, "Qin Tian cannot have caused his memory to be lost, rest assured on that point."

To be honest, this statement was somewhat insincere.

As soon as a memory is probed, a certain degree of disorder is inevitable. If it is a Spiritual Element expert, the level of disorder could be minimized but is unavoidable.

That was why he confirmed right away that somebody had probed Ghostface’s memories.

If it was by a villain, even the smallest loss of information could cause the Judgement Court to miss crucial leads.

However, if it was Qin Tian, then he couldn’t openly criticize him.

But that being said, he was surprised to discover that Qin Tian’s technique was actually remarkably good. Although some traces could be seen, these traces could only be discovered by an Spiritual Mind Master like himself of Tier Eight.

This implies that Qin Tian’s proficiency in the Spiritual Domain is quite high, certainly among the top at Tier Seven.

A combination of Space Element expertise and a top-tier Telekinesis master

This combination is exceedingly rare even across the thousands of years of Empire history.

If the opportunity arises, I really would like to meet him.

"Lingfeng indeed has reported the cause and effect to me, and Marshal Lin has no objections to this either."

Pei Siqing mentioned Marshal Lin, essentially drawing a line under the matter, preventing any further doubts.

"Yan Qing, share your conclusion; what important information have you obtained?" Pei Siqing asked.

Yan Qing organized his thoughts, then said slowly:

"This person’s name is Kawabata Xu, an elite Tier Eight expert cultivated by the Blood Demon Cult, code-named Ghostface. I believe everyone is most concerned about whether we can obtain information about the Blood Demon Cult’s headquarters from his memory."

Everyone nodded; this was what they were most eager to know.

"But I think I must say that everyone may be disappointed."

Yan Qing shook his head, his voice low:

"Kawabata Xu only knew that the Blood Demon Cult’s headquarters is located on a planet not on the star map. Except for the cult leader and deputy cult leader, no one else knows the planet’s coordinates. Even high-level officials like Kawabata Xu aren’t privy to any information en route to the headquarters planet, only taken there by designated ships. According to what he knows, once the ships reach the headquarters planet, pilots who know the coordinates are killed immediately, ensuring no information leaks."

Everyone felt a shiver inside.

Even Tier Eight powerhouses are treated like this.

Truly, their old adversary is cautious to the extreme.

"However..."

Yan Qing shifted his tone, "I did obtain some crucial information from his memory."

Hearing this, everyone slightly widened their eyes, listening closely.
